I'm not surprised, some were mad before about Kotetsu taking "Ash's future Pokemon" away from him i.e. "Samurott and Lucario!!1111" I just say people should quit whining and enjoy the fact he has those Pokemon, it's meant to be cool and a way of showing Kotetsu's strength as a trainer. Satoshi has some awesome Pokemon too, specifically Waruvial, Pikachu, Chaobu, Gamagaru, etc. I could easily see Gamagaru evolving in the Kibago in distress episode and Satoshi would have yet another powerhouse in his arsenal, especially if it had Poison Touch.

In truth, I think Palpitoad will be the most unlikely for this battle, and the same to Leavanny; if both have just fought Stephan in the prior round, and with Oshawott and Snivy yet to have league battles from what we know, then it wouldn't surprise me if we saw the three starters, Pikachu, Unfezant and Boldore, or Scraggy. I think there will be some symbolism here; Pikachu will face Riolu, or Lucario, and Oshawott will battle its evolved form as part of BW2-24. So in a perfect world:

Before there is a kick off over Oshawott's victory amid complaints that it hasn't battled recently and therefore has not gained strength, I would like to refer you to Leavanny: battled once competitively as Sewaddle, battled once competitively as Swadloon. Next battled competitively SIXTY episodes later as Leavanny and won two key battles, even if rushed. Oshawott will have been getting stronger offscreen and his casual appearences to join the fun will boost his experience.

An alternative explanation; this is the anime. Deal with it.

If Father Ted Crilly had been introduced to Pokemon, we may have found the greatest thing on Earth, after Chuck Norris, of course.

honestly i dont see ash taking out 3 of kotetsu pokemon before kotetsu can take out 1 i think the battle will be close but i dont want to see hydregion just taking out all of ash's team >< i wanna see all of kotetsu pokemon ddoing something haha

Also, I am late to the wagon....do we have a summary for these episodes?

So if I am getting this right.

Ash beats Shooti in the first round, then goes on to beat Stephan and possibly Kotetsu afterwards. Is that right?

Kotetsu is Ash's 4th opponent.

So Ash has beaten Trip, A COTD, and Stephan prior to Kotetsu.

Misinterpreting my posts is not your fault, negative repping me, and getting very sensitive about my posts because you misinterpreted my posts however is your fault. Think really hard, before negative repping or making a big deal about my posts. I don't appreciate being negative repped for reasons that are a result of misinterpreting my posts.

If by the confirmed, do you mean the summary mentioning Ash vs Kotetsu as the 4th round meaning Ash's 4th opponent, then yes, yes it is.

If Ash is only getting 5 opponents and the first round is a 1 on 1 and the second is probably like Ash vs Grumpig girl could we assume at least 1 of Ash's Pokemon will get screwed. I predict either Palpitoad or Unfezant or both.
